    Nice work by the pilot. The only time I was concerned is when I thought... "I hope it starts back up..."

    I love it. Imaginative and big balls. Not crazy though. Oviously in good control. Not a good place for a mishap though.

    I knew there would be some big tires. I think the takeoff roll was 25'.

    A headwind is certainly a possibility there.

    Great skills and looks like pretty exciting.

    I would have done a quick run-up on that engine before plunging over that edge, though.
    (just in case - to make sure the engine wasn't going to sputter when I gave it full throttle).

    Actually, I probably would have left the engine on and just sat there for a few minutes, rather than shutting down the engine.
    Hiking out from that location would have been a tough challenge, for sure.

    Obviously a skilled pilot. Mountain flying can be rather precarious.
